- Fanfic Bingo!
Inspired by the discussion of OTW at John Scalzi's blog, Ithiliana, Half Elf Lost, Kitsune13, and Cofax7 created the Anti-Fanfic Bingo card.
They have kindly permitted the OTW to use the card, and we'd like to ask all of you to come up with responses for the objections to fan fiction. Serious responses, funny responses, rude responses, heart-felt responses. Prose, poetry, icons, banners, art, vids -- any response at all! We ask that you stay on topic, but our hope is to create something fun and, well, educational.
You can see the entire Anti-Fanfic Bingo card here, but right now, let's focus on the top row:
How would you respond? Tell ComRel!

Hey, writers, I'm sorry you take my thoughtful, heartfelt engagement with your universe and your characters as an insult. I really am. I hope you'll believe that it was never my intention to hurt your feelings by falling so in love with what you created that I started to have my own ideas about it.
It's like this: you created a signature dish, and I was lucky enough to taste it. (Thanks again, by the way; yum!) And then I came home and created a version that includes olives, just for kicks. And maybe you hate olives, and you're mortally offended that I had the gall to put olives in your recipe. But here's the thing: my making a version with olives in it? doesn't change your version. It happens that you inspired me, and I cook it this way for the friends who like to eat it. Those who don't like to eat it -- you included -- don't have to join me. And maybe next time I cook it, I'll try almonds, even if you're allergic. Or chocolate. Or using a little less salt. That's not meant to be disrespectful; it's just fun.
If you can't see it that way? I am really, really sorry you're distressed, but that isn't my fault, and it's not going to make me stop cooking in new and creative ways.
